Implanted in Blockchain’s ecosystem, this open-ended collective is gonna keep tinkering with its machinations, a mixture of technological sophistications and cheerful provocations. The Distributed Gallery is not only a group of creation and reflection,
but also a host and a nodal point to think about the mutations of any blockchain-based art.

On Dec. 16, the nascent market for what might be called cryptoart appeared to reach a new level when the hitherto-unknown Distributed Gallery announced the auction of “Ready Made Token,” a unique unit of a cryptocurrency that the gallery said
was created by Richard Prince using technology from Ethereum, the network responsible for Ether.
